    On these subtly lovelorn songs, his voice quavers with a grounded, lived-in authority. [Feb 2005, p.92]

    Those in search of classic Barlow would do far better to dig out their battered old copies of Bakesale.
  3. Alternative Press

    As singer-songwriters go, Barlow's not worthy to make a Starbucks run for Conor Oberst, Jim White, Joseph Arthur or Chris Carrabba. [Mar 2005, p.122]

    This one really grew on me. I was going back and forth listeing to "Emoh" and the new Bright Eyes CD, but found I always went back to Emoh to figure out what chorus it was that I woke up to in my head while drinking my morning coffee. The songs seem to haunt me at all hours of day and night -- and I am immediately lured back into listening to it. Sebadoh, it's not -- but c'mon people, let's admit it. We've all grown up.… Expand

    Great record, lovely songs -- sincere, confident, no-frills. A must for Lou Barlow/Sebadoh fans.
